Shio koji is a traditional Japanese ingredient made with a fermented rice malt (koji) and salt (shio). The enzymes contained in shio koji break down proteins to draw umami out of meat and fish. Hikari Miso’s Shio Koji is in liquid form with the tiny half-dissolved grains of rice malt and packaged in a convenient plastic bottle.
- Known to be an all-purpose seasoning, shio koji works wonders in any style of cooking. This easy-to-use aspect is another reason the traditional ingredient recaptured the spotlight in Japan.
- Shio koji can be simply poured onto meat or fish as a marinade or added as a sauce or finishing touch.
- It can also be used in place of salt by substituting two teaspoons of shio koji for every teaspoon of salt.
